MORRISTOWN, N.J., Dec. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Core Services and CBIZ recognize that, as service providers, their number one priority is staying client- focused, providing clients with high quality and personalized service. By freeing up scarce Oracle IT resources, Core Services has helped CBIZ pursue new internal projects and endeavors that will benefit their company and clients. Personalized client service starts at the beginning of any partnership. Core Services made sure that for CBIZ, as one of Core's newest hosted clients, the relationship would begin and remain positive. "We knew before the migration that CBIZ was looking for aggressive service levels to be met," said Keith Inouye, Core Service's Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "We ensured that there was a clear path of communication defined between our teams, that we agreed upon the fastest, cleanest migration course, and that we put in place an escalation process that would facilitate the migration and resolution of the inevitable issues that occur in such a complex endeavor." As an example, to smooth the installation and integration of CBIZ's T-1 installation and data migration, Core's team dispatched a Service Delivery Engineer to fly in and personally pick up the DLT tapes and fly back to Core's data center, all on the same day. "Core Services made the migration process as seamless as possible and kept us on schedule," says George Dufour, Sr. VP, CTO of CBIZ. "They have proved themselves as a dedicated, strategic partner, and have been responsive and attentive to the details that make this relationship a strong one," Dufour continues. "Core's expertise and flexibility with Oracle Hosting Services has allowed CBIZ to reduce our total cost of ownership of Oracle, and redeploy our IT resources, allowing us to better service our clients. We can focus on our core competencies with CORE handling support and instance performance. Core has given us a sense of security and peace of mind that all of our service level requirements will be met." Today, CBIZ's Oracle Applications are hosted from Core Service's facility in Baltimore, Maryland. With a smooth transition and a stable environment, CBIZ is one more success story added to a lengthy list of satisfied clients. "By creating a solid platform for success, Core Services will continue building our deep knowledge base of Oracle, continue to recruit the best and brightest in the industry, and keep our finger on the pulse of the Oracle market," says Jim Bistis, Core's Founder and CEO. "By providing clients with extraordinary service and capability, Core will build upon its 17 year string of profitable growth, making Core Services a strong and valuable strategic partner to its clients."
